This Week's Movers

While the much-talked about BusinessWeek memo, announcing layoffs and a reorganization, is arguably the week's most buzzed job news, it wasn't all bad this week. Here are other changes:

• Caroline Waxler will join MainStreet.com, set to launch in early 2008, as the general manager and editor. A former Forbes reporter, Waxler was also recently the markets editor for the now-defunct Business 2.0. She starts her new role next week.

• Commonwealth Business Media's Peter Tirschwell moves from magazine group vice president to senior advisory. The vice president of business development, Liam Power, will take over Tirschwell's former role. Read more.

• CMP Channel's CRN and VARBusiness made several changes with four promotions and a new hire to gear up their coverage.
